What is the future for Excel Online Add-ins? As I understand it, only Excel apps that are coded in web languages are supported at the moment. But as I understand it they are also not as powerful as either VBA code or add-ins created in .NET.
What is the future for "coding" and add-ins in Excel Online?
It is an evolving one. Your right, currently the office javascript api is not as complete or rich as the com based object model.
Athough it is not attempting to be a 100% match to the OM the api is improving.
If you want a solution that runs on all varieties of excel and on different platforms then Apps will be the only way.
That does not mean you can not create add-ins or vba code in the future, just that the potential audience will be limited. But if your audience is only users with desktop client then there is no difference to how it is now.

So Office development now comes in various styles. Which one is best suited depends.
